al qaeda it is an enemy of the united states. host: we had this headline in " the washington times." "tells support for the rebels -- total support for the rebels." what is your take? guest: at least 25,000 people have died in syria. president obama said the right thing yesterday. the dictator of syria has to go. there has to be in the government. the syrian government is just strong enough to stay in power. they seem to be evenly matched. there doesn't seem to be a clear winner in this war. russia and china are blocking every attempt by the u.n. security council to help the refugees or the rebel alliance or to give a straight message to the dictator in syria. so they are no help. president obama does not want to intervene with troops because it would take too many american troops. i think he is made the right decision not to put american troops in. women have to consider arming the rebels -- we now have to consider arm the rebels. these poor people have lost their home and kids cannot go to school. it is a terrible story. i thin

states more accountable and the united states is not just going to get its way as a matter of course in requests from egypt to do various things and carry washington's water in the middle east like mubarek did. host: our guest is steve cook, you can send us an e-mail, c-span.org or join us on twitter, c-span/wj, news of the morning, we've been following this war in syria, which has an civil war, and how serious is it, and what, if anything, can the u.s. do? guest: well, i don't think that it being an all out civil war is actually news. we've been in a civil war situation in syria for quite some time now. it is an unfair fight, and syrian activists and opposition will say that it was a war that was forced upon them by the regime, that this is not a classic case of brother fighting brother. it's the regime's use of overall force, left with no choice to respond. but this is a horrific, tragic situation in which many people are going to die. there was a time when i believed that the united states could intervene in a constructive way. now that we are in an all out civil war, it is a ques

in the end, the united states stands for regime change in iran. china is getting alarmed at the regime change inclination. it does not like to endorse big power intervention into what it sees as domestic issues on which it has many vulnerabilities at home. on the other hand, china does not want to be seen as a pariah. it does not want a proliferation of nuclear weapons in the middle east or anywhere else. if saudi arabia gets them and other countries, the area becomes more unstable. therefore, china's energy supplies become more unstable. i would say china is conflicted. on balance, it finds itself in opposition with the means the u.s. proposes to deal with iran. host: two tweets. china has become aggressive beyond its own borders. what about tibet's relationship to the u.s.? guest: we have two sets of questions. whatever you want to say about china and its military policy, it is not the soviet union. that is whether you look at the nuclear arsenal or the deployment of its ground and naval and air forces. the problem is a function of conflicting s
